Just a little more context please.

Many player suggestions have also been implemented, including:
A run/walk toggle;
A new, better look for the world map;
Random encounter skill checks now consider the entire party rather than just the player character;
Improved pathfinding in difficult locations;
Transparent walls and structures when companions are behind them, and camera improvements;
Many more smaller enchantments to QoL!

Aren't most of these just basic features of decent game mechanics?

Swordhaven is an okay-ish game, been playing it for a while now and are now progressing with the main quest.
It's a flopped ****** game nevertheless, no wonder they've rejected the formula and are now making a FO3 clone instead. They will certainly fail but it's still a better choice than pandering **** who don't really play rpgs.

Listening to the discord mouthbreathers is what's going to be the death of them. They'd improved their system over two games and could have made a superior third.

That still won't save it from flopping. I mean even on this site, people don't seem to care about this game at all. I might be the only person here who's actually trying to finish this, the others would rather play wowslop and it's clone. FFS the ******* WoW thread is one of the most active thread on this site.

btw their first two games worked because they 1:1 copied the og fallouts, they actually tried to innovate in this one and we all saw how **** their innovation goes.

They are now porting the game for console and maybe future patches for bugfixes (assuming they are competent enough to do so), but afaik the game is done.

Yeah, in the update last week they said it was the final content update. Just bug fixes from here on out.

Im playing it. Its good.

Finally finished Sloppahaven. My final verdict stays the same as I did initially, it's an okay-ish game, not bad but also not good, a 5/10 game basically. The dialogue tree and quest structures are decent but everything else is subpar. Posters above have already pointed out the flaws but I'd like to add about how broken the stealth is : For some reasons the NPCs DO NOT react to their friends dying if you one-shot them outside combat, meaning you can just snipe enemies one by one in front of their friends and they won't bat an eye (which is funny because it's something a 16 years old with 3 months of Unity experience can fix).

► Show Spoiler

Also, the "Conspiracy" ended up being some Looney Tunes level of stupid plot twist, and the game ends about 1 hour after the said plot twist so none of the story does even matter.

Welp, looks like I'm the only ****** on this site who cares about this game enough to do a full playthrough. The game is fully finished and yet still no one gives a ****. Just me and maybe about 10 other users on the 'codex and that's it, that's the whole retro indie cRPG audience on chudcel forums. Most of you ******* would not spend 10 hours on this while having 1k+ playtime on WoWslop.

@Tinky Winky did you get to the Cursed city? The endgame area that was added with the 1.1 update.

I've gotten the quest that told me to explore the said city, although I didn't bother to do it since it's completely optional and this game isn't good enough for me to do a 100% run.

I just found it to be kinda boring, the system really needed expanded to support a full party RPG because it's too simplistic

[Ilovecheezecake]

Doing a full playthrough but solo.
Got sidetracked by work in the meantime so didnt progress far.
Played ALOT when it first released in a half finished state, even then it had a certain charm. The dialoges were great for me, since they involved a lot of stat checks and investing into intelligence and perception for example.

Will post more impressions later, maybe

I was really looking forward to their 3rd installment of atom rpg. Atom rpg and Tudograd I played recently and I enjoyed the exploration in Atom rpg and Tudograd I enjoyed reading. In Swordhaven I enjoyed the crafting and the reactivity on the conversations I had with random npcs. I truly wonder who whispered this nonsense of 3rd person action exploration. It seems to be a really cumbersome on a development of a slick rpg which won't be happening I guess.
